In any place where there wasn’t self-sacrifice – as was the case throughout history, like during the era of Imam Husayn (A) where the majority of the categorical elite, the upper class, and the believers shrugged their shoulders, became terrified, and retreated – the word of falsehood prevailed; the government of Yazeed came to power, Bani Umayyah ruled for 90 years, [and] Bani Abbas ruled for 5 to 6 centuries. What calamities the people had to suffer, the Islamic society had to suffer, [and] the Mo’mineen had to suffer, [all] because this self-sacrifice wasn’t done.
